Some of our kids have played many more games because of injuries to Solly, Welbs, Fati and Mitoma than we could have anticipated…. Apart from Hinshlewood they have been inconsistent. That has got to be expected . They’re all getting better and better though. I thought Fergie has looked better last few appearances ( not Tuesday 😢)

Spot on. I was starting to worry about Buonanotte and the fact that he hadn't scored, given chances. But that has all changed and he seems to have become a completely different player who you could not leave out really. For the reason you suggest Qs.

And he deserved them, but if we had a fully-fit squad he might not have to play every game at his age. As it is, we're seeing more and more of the good stuff. I still wish he'd cut out the overreaction to every slight contact though.

Well said.

Lots of potential. The club seem to be managing him perfectly

At Brighton maybe but not at Rosario where he was already scoring some great goals …he’s only been getting regular no10 positions for a few months with us - the talent was never lacking but it is difficult to break into the first team especially when you have Solly out wide and Mackie in CAM but he’s had that opportunity this season.

Pretty sure it’s :

Ooooooooo…….gol de Buonano, buoano, buaono, gol de buonanooooooooo…….

LOVE IT

He was playing wide for a few games earlier in the season. With hindsight it’s clear he’s much better suited to a more central position which I guess is why we are now seeing a more consistent player.

Wonder if there are two versions…..’gol’ being used when he scores obviously :shrug:

Yeah, that's Bambino Pons, he's the main commentator of Premier League matches in Argentina (and some of Latin America).

He makes up a song for every single goal he commentates so there's a song for probably almost every other goal Brighton's scored in the Premier League.
For Buonanotte's next goal he'll probably make up a new one (although he does repeat sometimes). They're usually based on actual songs.

(His most famous one is probably one for a Scholes goal from like the mid 2000s)

Here's for example, his song for Pedro's 4th (I think the video should work everywhere, but I'm not sure):

now hear me out ...


this is going to sound a bit silly, but watch the video and maybe it could change your view.

In the video it focusses on a part of his game that never really stuck in my head from watching him play - he really seems to be able to pick pockets and break up play. Maybe we have him in the wrong position. If he could get the rolling around on the floor out of his game, he could be the quality DM we've been looking for since Caicedo left.
(obvious caveats about youtube videos not being the full picture of the player)

I've certainly noticed him defensively more in the last few games. Don't see him as a DM from that but he's certainly chipping in a fair share of ball winning.
You can make the case that he could be like MacAllister in that he'd be an attacking midfielder with enough defensive capability not to be found if playing further back with more of a destroyer, and he could certainly drive forward from there effectively. Not sure of the balance with our current other options to be one of the two. Baleba the most complementary option should be progress.
Anyhow he's just a wonderful footballer and now he's better acclimated to the physicality of the PL could certainly do a job in any midfield position.
Oh and he doesn't have to cut out the theatrics even if we'd like him to. The Argies have a fine history of being able to be brutal footballers while still occasionally getting shot by a sniper.

I think the tenacity has been on show since day one but I'm slightly sceptical that he's cut out to be a DM. Certainly he could play as an 8 though. In fact, it's quite likely that he'll move between the 8/10 role imo.

To some extent he'd be wasted any deeper, wouldn't he?

That's a great highlights video. He has really improved a lot this season, I think next season he'll be given a lower squad number and be considered as part of our 'ideal' starting 11.

I think there's something in what you say. Given the choice, I'd rather he didn't play there yet, but maybe a few years down the line. As you say, he certainly needs to cut out the diving/rolling. But in this extended run in the team, what's really stood out (so you're not changing my view) is his pressing: he leads the press within the whole team, and is really in your face with it.
He needs to bulk out a bit and understand the requirements of the role more, but he might actually prefer -- benefit might be a better word -- playing there as it will allow him to dictate the play and pace of the game more.
